Half Acre Nelson Double Daisy Cutter Double Pale Ale

 Half Acre Nelson Double Daisy Cutter Double Pale Ale. Nelson Sauvignon, Falconers Flight. 

7.5% ABV. Half Acre Beer, Chicago, Illinois. 

All hazified, dull orange hue, lush and lasting bright ivory head. 

In the nose: lemon and grapefruit, maybe melon, slight florality.

In the mouth: typically gauzy mouthfeel of a hazy pale ale. Daisy Cutter isn’t hazy, so why does this variation on Double DC have to be? 

Hop bitterness is low, severely softened. Definitely drinkable, medium bodied, fresh and zesty. Wish I liked it more, but it doesn’t really deliver what I’d expect from a double pale ale. Pleasant enough beverage, heck, I even enjoy it. Just expecting something else. 

An exploded view, single hop data set using Double Daisy Cutter as medium. Nelson, a southern hemisphere heartthrob hop, still offers that wonderful other. High minded fruit, Kiwi Sauv Blanc grape, Humboldt diesel, tropical salsa and a slew of interconnected bursts all total some foreign exchange student difference that makes you want to travel. This beer billows, feels good and is a great addition to this lineage of DDC variants.
